Safety

Officer Shaw, our Police Liaison Officer visited our classroom on Wednesday morning. This is an annual event, and we are thankful for the time he shares to connect with our K-4 students.

He talked to our students about safety. First, students helped him review safe costumes. Costumes should be bright, reflective is smart, and if you wear a mask, the eye holes should be larger. When visiting houses, you should only visit the homes of people your adults know. There should also be a light on, welcoming you. He reviewed crossing the street. Look left, right, and left again. When walking, be aware of bicycles, cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles. They may not see you. When collecting candy, please have your adult check it. Make sure the candy is wrapped, it is safe, and your are conscious of any allergies. He also talked about stranger danger. Ask your student to tell you about they "heard" from the discussion. Officer Shaw left silver bags, an "Official Safety Manual", and mini book about dealing with bullying.

We are SO THANKFUL to our local law enforcement and their efforts to connect with our students in proactive, positive ways! It is another example of how our community matters and supports our learning!!
